Hockey After many years of inactivity, the school became hockey-minded this season. Daily practices were held during the Christmas holidays. So numerous were the candidates that Coach jackson has a very hard job getting the squad down to working size. :U it by-Y 4 1 THE HOCKEY TEAM Back Rowi R Thornton, B. Parnell, E. Ward. G. Pettersone, B. King, Mr. jackson Front Row: IE. Routly, S. Csumrik, B. Elliot, H. 1X'Iorrow, -I. Mortimor A team was entered in the Junior City League and also in the Interscholastic C.O.S.S.A. series. But as we were too late in entering the latter, our efforts had to be confined to the City League. We opened the series with a loss of 3 to 2 against the Monarchs. We came right back with four straight victories against the Bombers, Canadians, St. Pete's, and All Saints which led us into the play- otfs against All Saints. Our team was really flying by then and won handily 6-4. They earned the right to meet the Monarchs for the League Cham- pionship. As The Echoes goes to press the hockey team awaits definite word as to the play-off dates. Win or lose, we will uphold the honour and spirit of P.C.V.S. The team is as follows: Goalie . , . ., . ..,.. .,,., .,,.t, . J ohn Elliot Defence . E. Ward, B. King, S. Csumrik Forward B. Parnall, H. Morrow, E. Routley J. Mortimer, R. Thornton, G.

Moaizow Field Day Cihk Despite the rather cold weather there was a large number of participants in all the track and field events. The enthusiasm of the pupils and the keen competition showed clearly that field day this year was one of the most successful ever staged. There were three groups, divided as follows: junior-14 Page F ffl ji-six and underg Intermediate-1-1 to 163 Senior-16 and over. Silx er cups were presented at a morning assembly to the group champions: junior: Margaret lXIason Intermediate: Eleanor Irwin Senior: Mary MacPherson The A. Wander cup, given to the most outstand- ing girl athlete of P.C.V.S., was presented to Mary MacPherson. The champion form was IIC Academic. We thank the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Associa- tions for sponsoring a refreshment booth again this year. LINDEN REED 'S 'gg ,Q J Q FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS M. lXIuson, XV. Hall, D. Duncan, M. MacPherson tseatedl. Boys A chilly wind and a muddy track greeted the contestants taking part in the sixty-two events of this year's P.C.V.S. Field Day. Due to these weath- er conditions no records were broken. Gerry Creighton won the senior championship with an aggregate of twenty-one points nosing out Ross Thornton by beating him to the tape in the 880. Ross collected nineteen points. Harlow Cutting, an intermediate, won the senior high jump by clearing 5 feet 3 inches and Stroyan Leith tied the junior 100 yard record of 2.1 seconds. Don Duncan won top honours in the Intermediate section with twenty-five points. The junior class was won by W. Hall with sixteen. DONALD DIPLOCK

Nicholls' Oval was finally selected as the site for the O.R.F.U. Senior Interscholastic Championship be- tween Runnymede Collegiate of Toronto and Peterborough Col- legiate. It was at this stage that the school demonstrated its ex- treme loyalty and support which was partly responsible for the splendid showing of the team at such a crucial time. This was the hardest-fought game of the season. A quick march down the field to a touchdown in the opening mo- ments of the game proved to be the necessary stimulus sufficient to drive the local collegians on to triumph. Runnymede pressed hard during the central session scoring three singles, but during the dying moments Peterborough surprised them with an onside kick which re- sulted in a touchdown that was converted. Runnymede did not threaten as seriously for the re- mainder of the game. NVith the final whistle P.C.I. led 11-3 to win the game and the Ontario Championship. A great deal of the credit is due to the coach, Mr. Bamforth, whose untiring efforts were responsible for turning out such a fine team. After several years of near cham- pions, he has at last achieved his long-sought goal. The help and interest shown by Dr. Clark, Dr. Neal, and Dr. Honey was greatly appreciated. The Big Apple The evening of December the tenth will long be remembered by those students who attended the special dance given by Dr. Kenner in honour of our Rugby Team winning the Ontario Champion- ship. Enthusiasm and excitement still ran high over the glorious victory won by our boys, and since the occasion demanded something more vigorous than stately waltz- ing, the evening was dedicated to the intricacies of The Big Apple. Toward the close of the evening there was hardly a student or teacher who had not been initiated into the mysteries of the newest craze of jeepin and Truckin. The enjoyment of the evening was greatly enhanced by music supplied by Hugh Davidson and his orchestra. EILEEN ScHoALEs At a banquet the city fathers very generously rewarded each member of the team with a leather windbreaker in the school colours. The Board of Education's kindness was reflected by a presentation of a lasting souvenir of the occasion in the form of handsome gold sig- net rings bearing a suitable in- scription. JIM HALL B. A. A. AND G. A. A. EXECUTIVE Back Row: R. Thornton, B. johnson, D. Dnmcan, D. Glover, G. Clark Front Row: H. Kelly, M. McPherson, Mr. Collingwood B. A. A. Review Honorary Presideazt-Mr. L. H, Collingwood President-Haig Kelly Vice-Presidezzt-Donald Duncan Secretary-Grant Clark Treasurer-Roscoe Thornton This year with her new flag and her old aim for good sports- manship, P.C.V.S. has again step- ped ahead of her rivals on the gridiron, on the basketball fioor and on the skating rink. The rugby team, which brought honour not only to our school but to the city is our greatest pride, although we expect our basketball teams to end their season in or near top position. The same is ex- pected from our hockey team whose present standing in the junior City League is quite pro- mising. The B.A.A. owes much of its success this year to the interest shown towards its undertakings by the following teachers: Mr. Bamforth, who combined strategy and patience, last fall. He work- ed with our team supported only by a handful of substitutes and brought to us the greatest athletic honour in the history of our school. He is endeavouring to repeat his stupendous feat by developing a championship basketball team. We offer our whole-hearted support and wish him the greatest success. Mr. Collingwood has devoted a great deal of his valuable time in advising our B.A.A. executive in their every step. Mr. Craig, who is again coach- ing the junior Basketball team with much well-earned success, arranged a very successful field day for all the boys of the school who wished to take part. Mr. jackson came to our school last fall and took over our Junior Rugby team. He has suc- ceeded in stirring up hockey en- thusiasm in the school and is now coaching a successful hockey team. Mr. R. D. Brown who helped to put over our rugby games deserves credit. By his interest he aroused our school to support the rugby teams and thanks to him and other teachers, never before has such school spirit been displayed and we hop it may continue.

Clarence scored 30 points during the iirst eight games. jack Dougherty: QDizJ Also a for- ward who works well on the pass ing plays and long shots. Diz's specialty is finding a better way to make difiicult shots. Harlow Cutting: A forward who makes the best of his shooting ability. His close-in shots, pass- ing, and long shots have helped him to obtain 59 points. Nelson Foster: A forward whose long shots and speed have given him 77 points. Nelson usually starts the scoring and adds the last basket of the game. Bill Turner: CSpudl Also a torward who has the knack of jumping up to the baskets for rebounds and then scoring them.

This is Hymie's last year also. We hope you continue to have an interest in basketball. Ralph ,l0l1l15f0Il.' A running guard and captain. Scored 42 points in the lirst eight games. With only two more games to play and both of them home games it looks as though the district championship has already been won. The members of the team take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Bamforth for his time and splen- did coaching. Also the keen in- terest taken in the team by the teaching staff and the pupils is greatly appreciated by us. Once again Mr. Bamforth's Sen- ior Team has started off the season with a smart line up. The team has scored 278 points with only 112 points against them. P.C.V.S.
